Vol. IV, No. 3, 28 April 1913 ( p. 13 ) :

" Thy letter was received and its perusal imparted happiness impossible
to describe. It was an indication of the loftiness of thy nature, the strength
of thy effort and the purity of thy intentions. Abdul-Baha's happiness is
caused by such matters. If the material luxuries of the whole earth were
available to Abdul-Baha, He would not think for one moment that there is
such a thing as comfort and luxury in the world. But when a soul-perfuming
fragrance wafts from the rose-garden of the hearts of the friends to the
nostrils of Abdul-Baha, such joy is realized that involuntarily I render
thanksgiving unto the Blessed Perfection Who has trained such servants."

"In brief, your letter imparted to me the utmost happiness. This
thought of yours is very appropriate.* I hope that a new quickening may
be produced in the hearts of the believers, and great firmness and steadfastness
become manifest, that this may lead to the guidance of others."

"Therefore, with a divine-power, a heavenly resolution and purpose,
an eloquent tongue and a heart overflowing with the Love of God, take in
thy hands the Tablets and travel throughout the cities, even as far a Honolulu
in Hawaii. Travel thou in all the American cities. Call every one to FIRMNESS
IN THE COVENANT! And guide everyone in the diffusion of the Fragrance
of GOD! Raise the cry of 'Ya-Baha-El- Abha ! ' and call the name
of 'Ya-Ali-El-Allah' ! "(O Thou High One Who is the Most High!)

"Awaken the friends, for ere long a test shall come. Perchance some
persons outwardly firm and inwardly wavering shall come to those parts in
order to weaken the faith of the friends in the Covenant of God. Let them
be awake! Let them be mindful! As soon as they see a trace of violation
of the Covenant, they must hold aloof from the violator. Day and night let
them strive so that the Lights of the Kingdom of ABHA may encircle the globe
and the darkness of error may entirely be dispelled...."

"Upon thee be Baha El-ABHA!

(Signed) ABDUL-BAHA ABBAS."

" ABDUL-BAHA'S VISIT TO PHILADELPHIA
JUNE 8-10, 1912 "

" Mr. William Remey came in about this time and when Abdul-Baha
saw him, he greeted him most warmly.

" Your brother [Mason] mentioned your name to me. You are greatly blessed
by having such a brother. At present you do not know how greatly you are
blessed but you will see this with your own eyes. Your whole family will
be glorified; they will be proud that they have such sons as Mr. Remey and
yourself. "

. . ."

"On Oct. 18th we were called into his presence about 6:30 in the evening
and after a few remarks he spoke as follows: 'There are many heralds
in the world. [ He goes on to enumerate several types ] . . . But
praise be to God, that you are heralds of the Kingdom of God . . . the fame
of the souls, who are the heralds of theKingdom, is eternal . .
. ."Thank ye God that ye are the heralds of the Kingdom of
Abha, the heralds of the Covenant of the Almighty .. . . Today, whosoever
is a herald of the Covenant is the light of the Regions. In the Supreme
Concourse the Heavenly Cohorts are arrayed, watching to see who will enter
the arena of service of the Covenant that they may rush forward to reinforce,
to strengthen and to confer upon him triumph."

all been conducive to happiness. Praise be to God, thou art confirmed in
service to the Kingdom, art promulgating divine teachings, art raising the
call of the oneness of mankind, art detaching the souls from ignorant racial
prejudices, art summoning them to the investigation of truth, art showing
forth unto them the light of guidance and art offering them the chalice

"O thou son of the Kingdom!"

". . . In brief, I am greatly pleased with thy conduct and thy behavior.
Praise be to God, thou art freed from these limitations and imaginations,
hast no purpose save the diffusion of the divine fragrances and art ever
restless and active. Thou art day and night striving to hoist the resplendent
banner and to cause the shining morn to illumine all regions. From the Abha
Kingdom I ever beg confirmations for thee, for without it the smallest things
cannot be performed, how much more this important question ["the subject

honor, Mr. Remey is, verily, of perfect sincerity. He is like unto transparent
water, filtered. lucid and without any impurity. He worked earnestly for
several years, but he did not have any personal motive. He has not attachment
to anything except to the Cause of God. This is the spirit of the firm and
this is the characteristic of the sincere."
